Figure 98 shows the thermal model of a processor with a passive
thermal solution. The ambient temperature (TA) is guaranteed
as long as TC is not violated. The case-to-ambient temperature
(TCA) can be calculated from the following equation:
TCA = PMAX • qCA
= PMAX • ( qIF + qSA)
Where:
PMAX
qCA
qIF
qSA
= Maximum Power Consumption
= Case-to-Ambient Thermal Resistance
= Interface Material Thermal Resistance
= Sink-to-Ambient Thermal Resistance

Figure 99 illustrates the case-to-ambient temperature
(TCA=TC – TA) in relation to the power consumption (X-axis)
and the thermal resistance (Y-axis). If the power consumption
and case temperature are known, the thermal resistance (qCA)
requirement can be calculated for a given ambient temperature
(TA) value.
